is the implementation of various techniques for increasing the amount of crude
oil that can be extracted from an oil field. Enhanced oil recovery is also
called tertiary recovery (as opposed to primary and secondary recovery).
According to the US Department of Energy, there are three primary techniques
for EOR: thermal recovery, gas injection, and chemical injection Sometimes the
term quaternary recovery is used to refer to more advanced, speculative, EOR
techniques Using EOR, 30 to 60 percent, or more, of the reservoir's original
oil can be extracted compared with 20 to 40 percent using primary and secondary
recovery
